From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Why would your server have a GUI?
Why not? Let's not pretend that my house is some kind of enterprise level data centre. Why would some FOSS NAS hobby project demand that I only use my home linux server for it? Such a strange requirement. All it needs to do is expose a simple web page to configure samba/nfs/scp/sftp etc. It really seems to have a high opinion of itself.
